@jnaut

Did/are you taking it to a shop?
Personally i know i dont have the $5-800 laying around to have this fixed.

I'm trying to figure out if its something that can be done without the use of a shop. I was also told by one person that a 10K press (i think he said) was needed. Yet in a write up i read it mentioned nothing of a 10k press being needed.

I'm in serious need of some help-age. lol
Any information would be super awesome at this point.

I can't stand not having my Myrtle on the road. She's looking so lonely in the drive way.

Not yet. Because like you, I also don't have $500-$800 burning a hole in my pocket. my understanding is that you do need to have it professionally done because diff work is really easy to screw up. I really need to get it done within the next 60 days though. A shop quoted me in the $600 range, provided it's only the diff bearing.

Let's put it this way, any job which has $35 in parts but $600 in labor is a warning to the home amateur mechanic that the job is going to be very difficult to do.

Mines going in to get looked at tonight by a friends friend. Hes basically gonna let me know how bad it is and give me a price. If its more than $200, im just gonna go to a U-Pull-It and grab a used rear and do that rather than fork out the $$, esp seeing i dont have a money tree growing in my back yard lol.

Ill be sure to update to see what this guy says. Hopefully since hes a friend of a friend he doesnt just see a woman walking in and see dollar signs!

A new chain is a little more than $100 and It can be done without pulling the T-case. I know troy is going to argue but I think it is easier without pulling it. The first one I did took 2hrs off the floor and the second one took 1 hr off the floor and the 3rd took 3 hrs pulling the t-case and messing with the linkages.
